What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A bathroom fan moves room air but cannot establish the condition of wood beneath tile. Moisture readings show whether drying needs to continue.
- Stop showering in the affected stall and keep the floor dry.
- Avoid stepping on loose tile or a soft shower curb.
- Keep people clear of a stained or sagging ceiling below.
- Photograph recurring damp spots and note when they appear.
- Leave concealed floor layers intact until their condition is assessed.
